Reviews

The new edition itself is a model of scholarship and clarity. … The piano reduction is cued as to the precise nature of the original orchestration in each passage of music, which is something I had not encountered before in such detail. … Page breaks are expertly managed …[Eighteenth Century, 2006]

Although so popular, very little is known about "No. 1" and valuable information will be gleaned from the extensive Preface to this fine new Henle Edition. From this note on the historical background of the concerto and the detailed Comments (analysing almost bar by bar) it is patently clear that the editors have done a great deal of minute and painstaking research.[Stringendo, 2004]
